Us and Them

Us: Look at that guy coming out of the woods. That’s bizarre.

Them: It’s my home.

Us: Look at him pedal a bicycle down the highway! It’s November! Brrr!

Them: Only mode of transportation I have.

Us: He’s going to get killed!

Them: I hope not. That’s why I installed this flashing red light to my handlebars.

Us: Man, he lives in the woods and has to use a bike to get into town! What an awful way to live!

Them: Yeah, it’s nothing to write home about.

Us: What could possible happen for someone to bottom out like that?

Them: It’s a long story. You don’t really want to hear it.

Us: Oh well, whatever it is, I’m sure it’s self-inflicted. Probably drugs.

Them: Maybe it is. Does it really matter?
